Although more than 2 million people visit Kinzua Lake every year, most drive right by this outstanding feature. And very few get to see Bent Run Waterfalls like this in its full glory. The falls extend all the way up the hill that is across the road from Kinzua Dam on Route 59 (Kinzua Road).

Its flow goes down to a tricklequite often and it is rare to see it captured in a photo this way. Bent Run is one of my favorite short hikes in the area, full of nooks and crannies and easy climbing, if you have good balance. Never made it to the top though. It is located about 7 miles east of Warren, Pennsylvania on Kinzua Road (Route 59). Access is through a small parking lot at a bend in the road across the street from the tail end of the Kinzua Dam visitors parking lot.

Be careful entering and exiting the small parking lot which can fill up quickly.
